The BS We Feed Ourselves — Gut/Brain healing for overachievers
Here’s what I’ve learned over these last 32 episodes. There isn’t any one smoking gun as to why we’re sick. Why we’re in the middle of a disease epidemic in this country. It’s multi-layered and fraught with nuance.

This is why we’re here.
